The video started with an alligator chilling on the back porch, unable to enter the house due to a closed glass door. The internet is full of weird and wonderful videos, from dogs scaring lions to unlikely animal nap buddies like tortoises and leopards. A recent viral clip shows a brave dog scaring off an alligator that had made its way to a home’s porch.
In the footage, the alligator lounges on the porch as a woman cautiously watches from a corner. Suddenly, her dog Pinto comes running to the door, barking furiously at the uninvited guest. This prompts the alligator to hightail it back to the pond nearby.
The video, shared on Instagram, captured the hearts of many viewers, who left comments expressing their amazement at Pinto’s bravery. The footage has garnered a whopping 18 million views and continues to attract more attention.
In response to concerns about safety, the person who posted the video reassured viewers that a fence would be installed soon, and Pinto is always supervised outside. The internet can be a wild place, but sometimes it’s heartwarming to see pets like Pinto step up to protect their humans.
